6. Is this Bible School accredited?
The professors are required to have a minimum of a master's degree in related courses and credentialed from a fully accredited Seminary. However, the goal of this School is to be tuition-free; accreditation or affiliation will make tuition out of the reach for our target student.

- This School is designed for busy adults who desire to increase their understanding of the Bible, be equipped, and capable to accurately explain what they believe.
